Editorial Reviews

Falling Skies opens in the aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. The few remaining survivors have banded together. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people while engaging in a campaign against the occupying alien force, whose purpose remains a mystery. Starring Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, and Will Patton.

It took me several tries to even get through the first episode. Terrible acting, terrible dialogue, unrealistic reactions, interactions. How this series has such a high rating and so many seasons is suspicious. Somebody is getting rich on junk.

Great storyline with realistic CGI and, for the most part, decent acting. But expect a totally humorless presentation with plenty of clichés exchanged back and forth. As is common with Hollywood productions, undue attention is placed on style--leather jackets and jeans are de rigeur, and the motorcycles have to be Harleys. While violence reigns, humans take regular-10 minute breaks to embrace and hug each other. The whole structure and tone of relations, however, is based on the militaristic model, with orders being shouted on a regular basis. Overall, it is an enjoyable and innovative series, but well within the Hollywood parameters which refrain from anything too intellectually demanding. 3 1/2 stars

Replete with disgustingly sappy scenes melodromatic music that takes the enjoyment out of an otherwise promising scifi. Exceptional macho-centric stereotypes. But enough to keep watching. I just skip through all of the BS and try to do something else at the same time.

This series as a whole starts off slow. It hits it's peak in seasons 3 and 4. The first 2 seasons are good but not great. The last season is by far the worst and though it concludes with a tidy bow, you will be disappointed with the way it achieves its ending. Still give this series a go though. Though it's not as deep as something like the Walking Dead, I find it more entertaining. It's faster paced and a good man vs. aliens conflict.

I really like this show, for the same reasons I like the Star Trek franchises. As someone else pointed out, this show is as much about the relationships as the sci-fi. Only, this one is kinda reverse of the ST's: Instead of the humans having the upper tech, and often coming to the rescue of others, we are the persecuted, with aliens having the upper tech. This show offers a unique perspective on how relationships are affected within the underdog group, made up of ordinary people who all have their flaws and failures. I would recommend this to anyone who values a good mix of sci-fi, action, drama and plot twists. As others also have said, the first episodes are a bit slow getting things started (as with most great series) but trust me, it kicks into high gear eventually.
